  3. I want to share management of existing #LXC #containers (that I handle with the command line tools) with other people who prefer to use GUIs… (oh, preferences…)

    I'd rather not have to "convert" or "migrate" of whatever, but just have the GUI tools manage existing containers without screwing them up…

    As I understand, at least #Proxmox will want to create them by itself so it's a no-go.

    Anyone experiences with #libvirt / #virtManager can tell me if it's the same or not?

  5. When the world is ugly outside and on the internet, just download a Linux ISO and learn something new. At least, that is how I distract myself sometimes.

    Today I am messing with Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre in virt-manager.

  6. GNOME Boxes: Schlanke Virtualisierung für den Linux-Desktop (und warum es für Admins trotzdem spannend ist)

    Einleitung Virtualisierung unter Linux ist längst kein Nischenthema mehr – vom Heim-Server bis zur Enterprise-Umgebung gehören virtuelle Maschinen zum Alltag. Während Tools wie virt-manager, VirtualBox oder VMware Pro jede Menge Schalter und Hebel für Admins bieten, fühlt sich das für einfache Tests oft wie Overkill an. Genau hier setzt GNOME Boxes an: Eine minimalistische, aber ernstzunehmende Oberfläche für KVM/QEMU, die Virtualisierung auf dem Linux-Desktop radikal […]

  7. Okay, so #VirtManager (a #libvirt frontend) is now offering both "internal" and "external" snapshots, defaulting to the latter, except apparently you can't then go on to delete those in the UI...? And it creates a foo.snapshot1 in addition to foo.qcow2, except if you delete the former, your VM breaks? Make it make sense

  8. Ciao, qualcuno in questi giorni ha avuto problemi su Arch per aggiornare Virt-Manager? Beh io si😅
    virt-install:/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-313.pyc è già presente nel filesystem
    Seguito da un'altra trentina di altri percorsi che segnalavano tutti che i vari file erano già presenti nel filesystem per cui l'aggiornamento si interrompeva.
    Non permettendomi nemmeno di reinstallare il pacchetto ho pensato di fare questo:
    sudo rm /usr/share/virt-manager/* -r
    Ho poi potuto aggiornare, reinstallare virt-manager e sembra che tutto funzioni correttamente.
    Non so se ho scelto la strada migliore o quantomeno una strada corretta e immagino che sicuramente ci sarebbero potuti essere altri modi......in ogni caso condivido

  9. A 5 minute video guide on installing our latest AerynOS 2025.08 ISO in virt-manager. Key requirements:

    1) Firmware: UEFI mode (not BIOS)
    2) 3d acceleration
    3) Need to pre-format your VM disk
    4) You need an active internet connection (if your distro does not automatically set up an internet connection for VM's, please follow guides on how to do it)

  10. So, to allow a linux vm to access a directory from Fedora host with virtio-9p, I'll need to run:

    # semanage fcontext -a -t svirt_home_t "/some/dir"
    # restorecon -vR /some/dir

    Idk why sealert offers this non-working solution instead. It's really weird.:

    # semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t 'dir'
    # restorecon -v 'dir'

  11. Pictorial of how to transition from the default repo in our Gnome 25.03 iso to the new CDN accelerated repo and then to install an appropriate pkgset.

    Oh and screenshots taken from within virt-manager which is now working on AerynOS!!

    Virt-manager is important for our internal ISO testing. It will significantly make the process easier going forwards before we are ready to announce new releases!
